The birth of Jonah James part 4

If you’re about to have a baby, I don’t recommend continuing this story. Stop here and return later if you choose.

After ANOTHER 2 hours of pushing Jonah too started to get tired. Up until this point Jonah’s HR was decelling normally. It would decrease during a contraction and rebound between contractions. But with the exhaustion from 5 hours of pushing, and what we suspect was a nuchal hand, and the cord wrapped, his heart rate was no longer rebounding. 85 bpm.

Kelly and our nurse Bethanie knew we had to get him out now. The room shifted from peaceful to urgent. Kelly gave me the chance to push, encouraging to push even between contractions to get home out. My pelvic floor was not budging. She and Bethanie knew we needed a little more room for Jonah so she gave me an episiotomy. Her second ever: a stat she should be so proud of! Tears heal faster than cuts and with less scar tissue but we needed a little extra help right then. There was no more waiting. I trusted her judgement and wouldn’t have had it any other way.

At this point I turned into a different position and vividly remember the FEAR. Bethanie was calling 911 anticipating that we would need to transfer Jonah with a heart rate so low. My doula Danielle, Alex, and Kelly yelling encouragement to push with all I had. I looked up at Alex and said “baby I’m scared. I don’t have anything left.” He responded the best way he could have. “I’m scared too but you got this Em. Dig deep.”

After another 2/3 pushes and moving off the bed onto the birth stool Jonah arrived earthside! With fire in his soul and breath in lungs he screamed, THE BEST SCREAM I have ever heard, as Kelly caught him. I looked up into the hall as my first babies, our puppies, sat and watched peacefully. We all cried.

Bethanie called off the ambulance saying he was okay and we didn’t need them.

A peace over the house as I held my baby praising God for all his glory and for allowing Jonah to arrive so vibrantly after a traumatic ending to our birth story.

Part 3
As our team arrived I transitioned to the bed to do some more side lying. Kelly checked me when she arrived. 3cm. I felt a bit discouraged but knew the only way to go was forward. Jonah and I were in this together and I knew he was benefiting from each contraction.
Contractions help with multiple things for infants including activating and integrating reflexes, squeezing out amniotic fluid from their lungs, and shaping their head for exiting.

From here we waited. I moved between 3 sisters positioning, sitting at “the dilation station”, walking around, going up and down the stairs, doing belly lifts, and getting into the birth tub. I threw up a few times from the intensity. Bethanie gave me an IV of fluids to help. I didn’t want to eat but I was drinking water. We worked and we waited…

Kelly checked me again around 5 or 6pm. 9 cm! I was so excited that we would soon meet our baby and that this workout would soon be over. It truly felt like we were rounding the corner of this marathon.

I moved to the dilation station once more. After a few contractions Kelly came over and said “ do you want to have your baby in here or out there?” I responded “well I don’t want him to be born into the toilet so let’s go out there 😂”

I started the pushing phase of labor. I first began on the birth stool at the side of my bed. Danielle recommended using a rebozo for something to pull on, I felt more power with this move but still nothing. We moved onto the bed to see if Kelly could assist with getting more space for Jonah. We pushed for *probably* 3 hours before Kelly decided to take a break. I had a cervical lip that we needed to try to move. I moved between 3 sisters and the urge to push came in stronger than before. I was convinced my midwife had left the house and that my labor was “too long” she had to go. If you know Kelly, she would NEVER leave at this point in labor and delivery. The ridiculous thoughts you have during labor 😂 Turns out she was resting and left as an attempt to get my brain and body back into work mode. I was exhausted and it seemed I was starting to fade mentally. needless to say she returned about an hour later and we got back to work.

5:30am I m got up and headed down stairs to take care of my first two babies Rocky and Kaia. I needed to move. I fed the dogs, took them out, sat on the deck with them, then moved to the sofa. Around 7am I texted my parents an update and told them they should plan to come down today. It’s a 3 hour drive and my mom wanted to be here for his arrival. My contractions were not consistent but they were intense. I remember actively telling myself throughout our entire pregnancy, “birth is not painful. Pain is just an adjective. Birth is intense. Lots of pressure. Lots of discomfort.” I filled my brain with alternate language because the dialogue in your head can either empower you or discourage you. And for the most part I stuck to that mindset. I refused to use ‘pain’ to describe labor while in labor.

Our midwife Kelly came by to listen to baby around 8:30am. She also did a cervical check. I was 1cm dialated but 95% (ish) effaced. Kelly insists this was great news. Effacement or softening of the cervix is half the battle and it tends to be a long experience for first time moms. I was not discouraged but I knew we would be in for a long haul.

We set a plan: Kelly was going to bring in her birth kit and leave some homeopathics incase labor stalls and we wanted to use them. She would leave for a little while to run errands. Alex and I were going to try to eat, head out for a walk with the dogs, and do spinning babies side lying.

Around 11am Alex timed the contractions as we did the side lying maneuver. 2.5-3minutes. He didn’t tell me at the time, I didn’t want to know. I just wanted to move through them as it came. I took a long hot shower and Alex set up the birthing tub. Kelly was checking in and decided to come back with contractions so close together. She called our nurse Bethanie and called our doula who was already on standby!

THE REALITY SET IN.

The birth of Jonah James (part 1)

Sat. February 22, 2025
I was on the sofa watching tv after dinner. I was super discouraged feeling like Jonah was never going to come. We were past 41 weeks and all of the “pressure” was on. Well meaningful friends and family were constantly checking in to see if he had arrived. Social media had stressed me out so much I logged out of all accounts and put myself on a ban. Work had felt like a horrible job vs my passion so I cancelled our last 2 days of scheduled clients and we were focusing on resting.

But he still wasn’t here.

After some tears to Alex about all my fears and frustrations I went up to bed; Alex went down to play his computer, knowing it could be the last for a while. Around 9:30 I turned the tv off and settled into a comfy position. I couldn’t sleep. I felt more practice contractions and things felt different, but that was a thought I had had many times the last few weeks so I didn’t get my hopes up. I rolled to try and find another position and a felt a sudden increase in fluids. Nothing like the movies with a rush all over the mattress, but more than the light fluids I’d felt throughout pregnancy. I got up to go the bathroom and confirmed what I thought could be true, my water had broke.

Contractions hadn’t picked up yet but I still felt the need to let my midwife know what had happened. I tried to hold off knowing she would tell me just rest and to call if anything changes but I couldn’t wait. I texted Kelly explaining the sensation. She answered exactly how we thought she would “the best thing you can do is try to get some sleep. You may wake up in the morning still pregnant and rested. You may call me in the middle of the night because you can’t sleep and contractions pick up.”

Alex shut down the house and came to bed with me, in an attempt to rest. We sat up talking about the excitement, breathing through intensifying contractions, and dreaming about meeting our baby.

Baby wearing has been a game changer for me since we had Jonah. He sleeps great in the carrier and it allows me the ability to work, clean, food prep, vaccum, and pretty much anything I need 2 hands for! Many of you have heard his little squeaks during adjustments 🥹

We were generously shared a boba carrier with clips (pictured here) and it was a game changer for JJ when he was teenie tiny. The wraps were too much for my postpartum brain to conquer but this was easy to use, snug, comfy for him, and helped me build confidence to hook him up without help.

Now that Jonah is around 13 lbs we have switched to a more sturdy carrier the ergo baby Omni 360. I like this one for his hips, the sturdy material, easy to clip in, and it comfortably fits Alex too! I also love that when he is even bigger I can back wear him in this carrier!

When baby wearing the key is to find one your comfortable and confident with AND one that fits your baby correctly! Most carriers can be adjusted to fit the hips.
👉🏼The biggest mistake I see is letting babies legs dangle straight down.
⭐️baby’s hips are not developed yet and they are not strong enough to hold correctly in the hip socket.
⭐️the M shape is essential for healthy hip and spine development!
👉🏼once baby is weight bearing (walking) this hip positioning will shift.

With so many options on the market it can get overwhelming!

‼️Mommas, comment your favorite carrier and why!
